Austin, TX
Best Sushi in Austin.
Harry's top 10 sushi spots in Austin score 85–97 on the Harry Score. 3 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $$ to $$$$.
Austin sits nowhere near an ocean, which should sink any sushi scene, except one South Lamar restaurant spent the 2000s proving otherwise, then exported its model to Houston, Dallas, and Miami — these days the fish flies in before the tourists do. The real split here isn't downtown versus the strip malls off 183; it's whether the rice was seasoned before the fish showed up. A good Austin counter tastes like the nigiri got here this morning. A bad one tastes like Whole Foods with theatrical lighting.
